6 AFL clubs made a loss out of 18, and that includes 2 brand new expansion teams. All these teams are on or near the bottom so revenue was down due to poor on filed performance. This will be addressed as they improve and they get support from the AFL.

And these NRL clubs? Struggling despite success...

The sharks are debt free? Who cares! Debt isnt the issue, lack of income to pay debt is. ask millions of Australians with a mortgage if debt alone is a problem

Do you have a link to your bogus claims Xman? or are you telling porkies again. As far as i know not all AFL clubs have put out there financial statements for 2012 so your claim can only be another porkie....

Out of the 11 clubs to release the financial reports 6 have made losses and this does not included GWS, SUNS......

Total Profit/Loss:

Essendon – $12,345,536 = 400k after 12m in government grants is taken out.
Collingwood – $7,835,000*
Richmond – $3,017,742
Hawthorn – $1,288,810
Melbourne – $19,485
1 Western Bulldogs – (136,679)
2 St Kilda – ($436,818)
3 Carlton – ($639,799)
4 Geelong – ($996,000)
5 Brisbane – ($2,200,013)
6 Port Adelaide – ($2,117,071)*

You must stop telling Lies Xman......

This has been proven already. Youre the one telling lies

Operating Profit
Collingwood – $4,860,000
Richmond – $3,017,742
North Melbourne – $1,193,080
Hawthorn – $1,288,810

Brisbane – ($2,513,262)
Port Adelaide – ($4,120,000)

No, operating profit/loss indicates the years performance or viability. Total profit/loss takes into account things like stadium upgrades etc. look at Essendon.

Adelaide supporters often refer to the other team in Adelaide as Poort.

Cronulla has plenty of fans which they showed will turn up when they are going well, the problem for them though, it's way too long between being really good and entertaining and being absolutely crap.

A few decent seasons in a row would see their crowds come back, years ago Cronulla were the team that owned Saturday night footy at shark park, it was packed every game, then they started losing and they are where they are now.
